Drowning

My life is shallow, empty,
When you are not around,
No body here beside me,
In darkness I will drown,
I feel it pull me under,
Loneliness and pain,
I reach out, you can't help me,
I cry out again and again,
I need you here beside me,
I need to have you 'round,
Your love my bouyancy vest,
With you I'll never drown
